Periodontal Treatment in Kidbrooke Village
Nurturing and restoring weak gums!
Periodontal Treatment—an Overview
Have bleeding gums become a regular affair while brushing teeth? Persistent bad breath, loose, sensitive teeth, or gum bleeds could be early signs of gum disease, otherwise called periodontal disease, that need your attention now! Gum health is essential to maintaining a confident smile, and untreated gum disease can lead to further gum inflammation, discomfort, and tooth loss. Periodontal treatments in Smile 4 U – Kidbrooke Village range from routine cleanings to advanced laser therapy and surgical options, all aimed at halting gum disease progression and promoting long-term oral and overall health.
What is Gum Infection?
Plaque, tartar, and bacteria build up along the gum line, causing gum infections, also known as periodontal diseases. Diabetes, nutritional shortages, hormone shifts, and other diseases all raise your risk. If left untreated, these diseases can cause significant harm, including tooth loss.
Gum disease treatment or periodontal treatments include a variety of specific techniques to remove harmful bacteria, repair damaged gum tissues, reinforce loose gum or ‘gum pockets,’ and restore gum health at all stages of gum disease. It can range from simple, non-invasive deep cleanings to surgery for more severe gum infections.
Do you need Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal check-ups in Smile 4 U – Kidbrooke Village are essential if you have the following symptoms:
- Bleeding or swollen gums are one of the first signs of early gum inflammation, often known as gingivitis, which can lead to periodontal disease.
- Gum recession is the exposure of dental roots, which causes teeth to seem longer and more sensitive.
- Bacterial growth and gum inflammation are the causes of persistent foul breath.
- Loose teeth suggest damage to the jawbone and gum tissue.
- Gum soreness or discomfort interferes with eating and brushing
We regularly provide consultations and periodontal treatments to patients from SE3, Kidbrooke Village, Eltham, Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Sidcup, Woolwich and Bexleyheath.

What Our Patients Say
Fantastic practice. Lovely dentist but the hygienist is absolutely brilliant! Having sensitive teeth, i advised her I was sensitive to hot and cold water. She used warm water to clean my teeth and I left with a big fat smile on my face. I already booked my next appointment!
Karen is absolutely lovely. She is fabulous at her job. Great on the phone and certainly makes you feel welcome.
They would be lost without her.
Cheers Karen

Thank you 🙂
I had an emergency dental crisis. I’ve never been to this clinic before as my Dentist is in London Bridge. I live in Kidbrooke Village and this is local to me, and since it was an emergency and everywhere I had called were fully booked, I had no other choice but to give it a go. I’m so glad I did. The dentist is so lovely, and he did a stellar job! It was pain-free and completed within minutes. There was even complete transparency with the price.
Thank you very much for your assistance today!
